Claiming benefits - our social security system

Social security - sometimes referred to as 'welfare' or 'benefits' - is being destroyed. Workfare, conditionality, 'employability' and sanctions are wrong and need to be stopped. If someone has no income then social security should be provided until they can get one. This website aims to detail the abuses of those who are destroying the benefits system and how those in need of the income that benefits provide, can fight back.

Please contact me with your experiences of the jobcentre, the DWP or any of the organisations involved in delivering so-called 'employability' training/schemes. Especially welcome are those on workfare or sanctioned. The more we publicise these dreadful situations the more we can gain support and strength from each other.
